Great videos! Pictures/videos replace a thousand words and often $$$$$$$ in repairs from doing it wrong!
Thanks, Tim |

Re: How To Adjust Primary Chain Video
It works! Now heres my stupid question for today. Harley says my bike has a self adjusting primary and I havent checked it in its 23000 mile life.Just change the oil and away I go ,Should I be checking it manually and adjusting like the video shows?

Re: How To Adjust Primary Chain Video
No adjustment on the auto units for service. Being a new design in 07, it would be advisable to check the shoe wear when the miles add up some more just for safety sake.

Re: How To Adjust Primary Chain Video
Is a Sportster that easy, or do I need to take the primary cover off.If so I can't get the drain plug out anyway. It is making a chattering nose crusing at around 25-30 mph in town.

Re: How To Adjust Primary Chain Video
Gluider thanks for all your help my brother thought he was having a problem with the tension of his primary chain. watched the very imformative video. Allot of great advice.I on the other hand was replacing the rear brakes on my king. Some of the people i talked to told me to remove the rear tire others said i didnt need to.After taking your advice on this matter i was able to do it without removing antything but the pads. I am new to this site but already it has payed dividens to me . Once again thanks for your help
